Common AC Problems

Published on June 22, 2015

When your home’s air conditioner breaks down you want to get the problem fixed as promptly as possible. Rob's Albertan Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can help you do just that so your family can get back to enjoying life with a working air conditioner. Searching for what might be amiss with your air conditioner and if you should schedule an AC repair? Here’s a short checklist of common AC problems.

  • Filter first

  • First things first: check your home’s air filters. Old or inefficient air filters are notorious for turning a perfectly functional and efficient air conditioner into a slow and inefficient one. How do you know if you need to change your filters? If you don’t know the last time you changed them, it’s almost certainly time to do so. If you’re still not sure, remove the air filter and check for visible dirt. If there is visible dust or dirt, throw it out and put a new one in right away.
  • Check the air conditioner

  • If your air filter is still clean, go outside and have a look at the unit itself. Sometimes sticks, leaves, and other debris can become lodged in or build up around the walls of the unit. Check for these and other immediate signs that something may be amiss. Listen for loud or irregular sounds coming from the system as it runs. Though you shouldn’t attempt an AC repair on your own, you can trust your instincts to notice when something looks or sounds incorrect.
  • Determine the length of the AC cycle

  • An improper cooling cycle may be part of the problem. Listen to how long the air runs in one cycle. An air conditioner in good working order typically runs for longer periods of time and stays off for a similar period of time, rather than flipping on and off in short bursts. An abnormal AC cycle may be an sign of more serious problems that will call for professional AC repair sooner rather than later.
  • Check your fuse box

  • If the system shuts down, there may be a breaker flipped or a fuse blown. A tripped breaker may occur in a thunderstorm, but if Edmonton hasn't been experiencing severe weather, there may be a more pressing problem that’s causing the breaker to trip. If the breaker in question gets tripped again soon after you flip it back on, call Rob's Albertan Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 780-800-9047.
